I've ordered from GenuineAudiParts and I can assure you they are totally legit. They're great for acquiring specific, and at times unusual, Audi parts that general online auto parts stores do not carry or even recognize.

Ditto. Recently bought a seat back repair kit for far less than another major online retailer.

Genuine site, insecure transaction
The problem with genuineaudiparts.com is that their checkout process is insecure. They could fix it easily, it's just an incorrect reference in their SSL certificate. But if you shop at http://www.genuineaudiparts.com, add products to your cart, then "Checkout", you'll see that the SSL cert is invalid. It's registered for the non-www version of their domain name. However, if you try to shop at http://genuineaudiparts.com, the checkout process never even enters SSL (no "https", no SSL lock = insecure).
Their catalog and prices are great, but IMO not worth exposing your personal/credit card date over unencrypted communications.
I wish they'd fix it. I've had success purchasing from ECS, but it took 4 weeks to get the item shipped/delivered!

Good catch! These days is hard to believe a shopping website doesn't secure it's transactions... I wonder if they are even aware of this issue?
Even the login and account information should be secured.
